Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore play a mother and her estranged son who are forced to work together in a fight for survival.
Prime Video has release a number of first look images showing Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore in Harry and Jack Williams’ latest action-packed thriller, The Assassin.
Set against the idyllic backdrop of a remote Greek island, the images see retired assassin Julie, played by Keeley Hawes, and her estranged son Edward, played by Freddie Highmore, as they are forced to work together in a fight for survival. Amid questions around Edward’s paternity and Julie’s dangerous past catching up with her, the pair are forced to flee the island and go on the run together.
The Assassin also stars Gina Gershon, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Jack Davenport, Alan Dale, Gerald Kyd, Devon Terrell, Richard Dormer and David Dencik.
Speaking about starring in The Assassin, Keeley Hawes said "I feel so lucky to have spent the summer in Athens with the wonderful Freddie Highmore and surrounded by a cast and crew of such high calibre. Bringing Jack and Harry’s spectacular scripts to life was an absolute joy - going to work has never been so much fun. I hope everyone enjoys The Assassin as much as we did."
To which Freddie Highmore added "It doesn’t get better than a Greek adventure alongside the lovely and incomparable Keeley Hawes! I’m really excited for people to glimpse some of what we’ve been up to. It was a joy to collaborate with such a brilliant cast and crew, and I feel very lucky that Harry and Jack Williams entrusted us with their characteristically thrilling writing… Other than that, all I can say is that it’s going to be quite some six episodes!"
Produced by Two Brothers Pictures in association with ZDF who is the German co-production partner, All3Media International and Stan in Australia, The Assassin is written by Harry and Jack Williams and executive produced by Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore.
The Assassin will air later this year on Prime Video
